THEO ROBINS
Baseball
1998 – Roosevelt – History & Linguistics
A right-handed pitcher on the Triton Baseball team from 1995-98, Theo Robins compiled a 7-5 record while making 40 appearances as both a starter and reliever. As a freshman, he led the team in appearances, posted a 1.27 ERA and had two saves on a club that went 23-13.
After graduating with a double major in 1998, he attended Boston College Law School where he attained a degree in 2001. Since that time, Robins has worked in the New York City office of Bingham McCutchen LLP, a firm with 15 offices in the United States and abroad. His areas of focus are securities litigation, SEC/DOJ investigations into securities fraud and securities class actions.
He and his wife, Sima, also an attorney, live in Manhattan. Robins has continued to play baseball.
AMANDA PALMQUIST
Water Polo
1989 – Marshall – History
A four-year starter on
Coach Denny Harper's Women's Water Polo team, Amanda Palmquist was the lone
freshman in the starting lineup for the Tritons' 1986 national championship-the
first at UCSD in her sport. The Tritons finished third in the nation in her junior season, runner-up her final
year and Palmquist was a second team All-American in 1988.
A Berkeley native, Palmquist has enjoyed a variety of experiences since
graduating from then Third College (now Marshall) in 1989 with a degree in U.S.
History and a minor in Sociology. She was part of the Peace Corps and U.S.
A.I.D. Costa Rica from 1990-92 before working at New Media Telecommunications
in 1993-94. After getting married (she met her husband in Costa Rica) and
having two children, she took a career hiatus to raise her family. Then, from
2005-08 Palmquist was with East Bay Restaurant Supply and also owned a car
repair business before coming back to the UC system in 2008. At that time she
stepped into her current position, issuing contracts for Capital Projects at UC
Berkeley.
Twenty years after playing at UCSD, she rekindled her water polo career,
playing for Oakland Masters. Her team won the 40's Bracket at the Masters
National Championships.
MATT AMERO Track & Field1998 – Muir – Animal Physiology & Neuroscience
An 800 m. specialist for
the Triton Track & Field team in the late '90's, Matt Amero was a standout
on both the track and in the classroom at UCSD. He was a team captain from
1995-97, was named Track Athlete of the Year in 1998 and graduated Magna Cum
Laude. He minored in economics, taught in the biology department, was on the
Triton Athletes' Council and volunteered at both the VA Hospital and Scripps
Memorial Hospital.
In 2002, Amero received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) from UC San
Francisco School of Dentistry. He did his residency at UCLA School of
Dentistry. He moved back to his hometown of Placentia, CA in 2003 and has been
